Objective This study aims to investigate and analyze the distribution of MN blood type among ethnic minorities in China. Methods Through a systematic retrieval of the 981 literature related to MN blood group distribution, 120 literature, meeting the criteria of this study, with complete data were selected. The literature covers 49 ethnic minorities. SPSS 26 statistical software was used to analyze the data. Results The results showed that among the 49 ethnic minorities in China, the phenotype distribution of MN blood type was MN>MM>NN, with proportions of 42.54%, 41.86%, and 15.06% respectively. The gene frequency for MN blood type exhibited a trend of m>n, with a gene frequency of m being 0.6313 and n being 0.3687. Cluster analysis divided the Chinese ethnic minorities into three groups based on the gene frequency for m, showing the characteristics of Group I>Group II>Group III. Conclusion The MN blood type characteristics in Chinese ethnic minorities show a higher frequency of the M gene compared to the N gene. The frequency of the M gene is higher in southern ethnic minorities than in northern ones. There are significant differences between southwestern ethnic minorities and the Han nationality, but no differences with long-term mixed/settled Han populations.

Objective To explore the value of thyroid nodule fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC)combined with B-Raf proto-oncogene,serine/threonine kinase(BRAF)gene detection in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid tumors.Methods According to the results of pathological examination,198 patients with thyroid nodules were divided into the benign lesion group(n=107)and the malignant lesion group(n=91).All patients underwent ultrasound-guided FNAC,and expression of BRAF gene was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The value of FNAC,BRAF gene detection and combined detection in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid tumors was analyzed by Kappa consistency test and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results The nodules were mostly under envelope in the malignant lesion group,while in the benign lesion group,which were mostly located within glands(P＜0.05).FNAC results showed that 62 cases with type II Bethesda,26 cases with type III Bethesda,29 cases with type IV Bethesda,14 cases with type V Bethesda and 67 cases with type VI Bethesda.There were significant differences in diagnostic positive rates between FNAC,BRAF gene detection,combined detection and pathological examination(P＜0.05).The area under ROC curve(AUC)of FNAC combined with BRAF gene detection for differentiating benign and malignant thyroid tumors was 0.871(95%CI:0.816-0.914),sensitivity was 90.11%,specificity was 84.11%and Kappa value was 0.737.The AUC of FNAC diagnosis was 0.833(95%CI:0.774-0.882),sensitivity was 76.92%,specificity was 89.72%and Kappa value was 0.672.The AUC of BRAF gene detection was 0.829(95%CI:0.770-0.879),sensitivity was 78.02%,specificity was 87.85%and Kappa value was 0.663.Conclusion FNAC combined with BRAF gene detection can improve differential diagnosis efficiency for benign and malignant thyroid lesions,especially enhancing the diagnostic sensitivity.

Drug addiction is a serious public health problem worldwide,for which there are currently no established therapeutic medications.Since the legalization of cannabis and the approval of cannabidiol(CBD)by the US Food and Drug Administration,its therapeutic potential for the treatment of substance abuse has been widely explored.Numerous studies have shown that CBD can reduce drug reward in animal models of addiction such as self-administration,conditioned positional preference,and intracranial self-stimulation.CBD can also reduce withdrawal symptoms from substances such as amphetamines,opioids,cocaine,marijuana,alcohol,and nicotine.The mechanisms by which CBD modulates drug addiction,however,are complex and understudied.Here we review studies of CBD related to addictive drugs to clarify the regulatory mechanisms of CBD in drug addiction and provide references for related studies on substance abuse.

Objective:To analyze the results of next generation sequencing (NGS) gene testing in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma cavity and evaluate the clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment.Methods:Liquid based cytological specimens of 222 cases of lung adenocarcinoma with cavity effusion and 201 cases of metastatic lymph node biopsy were collected. Specimens were obtained from the Cytology Laboratory of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The collection period was from January 2018 to December 2022. The results of NGS gene detection were compared. The clinical efficacy of 91 patients treated with EGFR-TKI was evaluated, and the survival curve was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and other statistical methods.Results:The mutation rates of cancer-related genes detected by NGS were 82.0% (182/222) vs 79.1% (159/201), ( P=0.455) in liquid-based cytological specimens and histological specimens of metastatic lymph node biopsy, respectively. However, the mutation rate of EGFR T790M was significantly higher in cavity effusion than in lymph node biopsy specimens [12.2%(27/222)＞3.5%(7/201), P=0.001]. The results of gene mutation were identical in 10 of the 13 cases with cavity effusion and metastatic lymph node biopsy, and the agreement rate of EGFR was 84.6%(11/13). In 3 inconsistent cases, EGFR mutations were detected in 2 cavity effusion cases that were not detected by lymph node biopsy. Results of genetic analysis of fluid-based cytological samples of 91 patients with cavity effusion were evaluated after drug treatment with EGFR-TKI. The mean progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients was 11.4 months (95% CI: 9.9-12.9). The mean PFS of patients harboring EGFR mutation was 12.3 months (95% CI: 10.8-13.9), and the mean PFS of EGFR wild type was 4.1 months (95% CI: 2.1-6.2). Conclusions:The results of NGS gene detection in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients with cavity effusion show that the PFS time is similar to that of histological specimens after clinical treatment with EGFR-TKI, which proves the reliability of NGS gene detection results in liquid cytological specimens. NGS gene testing appears higher sensitivity in cavity liquid-based samples than in metastatic lymph node samples.
